Crystal opened the $5.5 million gondola, the first at any Washington ski area, on Jan. 1. The gondola features 22 8-person cabins with plans to add 10 more. Gondola tickets cost $8 in addition to a $65 ski lift ticket. Scenic gondola riders are $17 for adults and $8 for children.

The former Seattle SuperSonic will ski, sign autographs and play H-O-R-S-E in the lodge at 3 p.m. He will promote 3BA International, a new 3-on-3 basketball league that begins play in June. One of the cofounders of the league is a season pass holder at Ski Bluewood, said resort general manager Travis Stephenson.
